Hi been playing 1k sons my self for a few years now and on here people will say they are no competitive but they can be with the right mix.

Now ahriman is to many points imo swap him out and have two tricked out sorcerers MOT, Sig of corruption spell familiar and level 3. Terminators will get blown out the water 1st turnif you were going to scout them up they will die or dee strike they will die faster take them out save points. Icon of flame is a waste nd wont do much at all used it myself and isnt worth it other than that sons look good. Dont take regular cms take another squad of sons and some cultists for home objective camping. I take one squad of flack havoks and two vindicators for heavy armor. Last but not least a helldrake as it 4 squads of 9 sons want enough ap3 take the flamer!.

Hope that helps a bit, you can always look into daemons for allies if it takes your fancy hope this helps!

You're looking at a 2,000 point list, but you're not taking advantage of the double force org. I'd start with that.

After that, you've got a fistful of missiles and a meltacide termie unit as your only serious anti-tank. That's not going to be nearly enough at this points level.

If you drop all of those CSM squads (which really aren't adding much), you could afford more termicide, or more havocs (who would all get lascannons), or something.

I agree with the terminators, i do feel like they wont last very long.Icon of flame, I took because I play against guard and tau alot currently. I took cms for a little more anti tank, and to take home objectives at a later point. I do like your Idea of one flack havock and 2 vindicators tho. Helldrakes in my local meta are kind of disliked, most people who turn up to a game with fliers struggle to play a game unless there against some one who has skyfire...
